Island Tycoon

Chapter 504

"What's the matter?" Ye Jingcheng said indifferently.

Chen Hu's invitation to come here was out of ulterior motives, and he must have something to tell and understand, or to some extent need his help.

Chen Hu casually recruited a younger brother to bring a wine glass, poured wine for Ye Jingcheng respectfully on the one hand, and said tentatively on the other hand: "Brother Cheng, I heard that many people made money from making movies, so I wondered if I should also open a wine glass." movie company."

"Whether you make money or not is secondary. The main reason is that this film company can help you launder the club's money, can't it?" Facing the wine glass Chen Hu handed over, Ye Jingcheng took it but didn't drink it down. The corner of the mouth gave each other a glance.

"Brother Cheng, you know that Yiqun has never touched the drug business, but there are still a lot of business accounts, which are not so convenient to show in the open." Ye Jingcheng's words hit the key point, Chen Hu did not have any surprises, Frankly admit it.

It was Ye Jingcheng's death order to Chen Hu from the beginning of the establishment of Xinyi Group not to let Chen Hu touch the business of 'poison', because this business is really harmful.

Of course, this is not the point.

The key is that this business involves too many troubles, and internal conflicts of interest will continue to arise.Moreover, the Hong Kong government's most severe crackdown is "drugs", sometimes even more serious than military fire.

Therefore, once Xinyiqun gets involved in the drug business, it will definitely attract the attention of the police.In order to avoid these potential hidden dangers, resulting in the exposure of their identities.

Ye Jingcheng would rather throw money into raising this group of people than to make them the focus of attention, and for this reason, he also gave them a lot of ways to make money.

For example, smuggling some luxury cars from Hong Kong Island to the mainland, this business was the most rampant in the late 80s to 90s, because at that time a group of people in the mainland had already become rich first, so they were particularly fond of this kind of foreign left-hand drive luxury cars.

Now, after Ye Jingcheng's suggestion, Chen Hu became the person who drank the soup for the first time.Although there are not many wealthy people in the mainland at this time, it is not a good thing.

Excluding the rich and the like, the only people who could afford a smuggled car were the children of high-ranking officials. This allowed Chen Hu to indirectly build up a network of relationships, which would be beneficial to his future development no matter what.

And this initial business, in addition to bringing tens of thousands of yuan in profit every month, did play another major role.

Later, Chen Hu asked Ma Tsai to smuggle parallel imports into the mainland, such as televisions, tape recorders, rice cookers and other home appliances.

Relying on his good relationship with the children of high-ranking officials, Chen Hu has completely opened up the market in coastal cities such as Yangcheng and Pengcheng, which can even be described as a monopoly.

Except for a very small number of parallel importers who acted alone, Chen Hu did not kill all of them without affecting the interests of the community.Because these people are like weeds, once you cut a bunch, it will grow another bunch soon.

However, all organized smuggling and parallel import teams are under the control of Xin Yiqun, and other associations can't get involved even if they want to.

The edge of Kowloon, which was not valued by them before, is now under the control of several land and water routes leading to Pengcheng.If other associations want to get involved in this business, the premise is to step on each other's territory, which is tantamount to a direct war with Xinyiqun.

Or the current Xinyi Group cannot be called the most well-established society on Hong Kong Island.But if you want to take advantage of it, even if it is the three heavyweight associations of Number Gang, Xinji, and Heji, you must first weigh the possible losses.

"Then let me ask you, are you starting a film company purely for money laundering, or do you want it to be another source of income?" Ye Jingcheng put down his wine glass.

"It must be good to make a fortune from it, so I need to consult Brother Cheng for your opinion." Chen Hu smiled.

Beforehand, he had naturally learned about the movie industry, and learned that Ye Jingcheng's movies ranged from hundreds of thousands to several million, and even tens of millions later, it would be a lie to say that he wasn't tempted.

Not to mention the income of tens of millions, even if he only earns a dozen or 20, he is already smiling like a flower.After all, he is not a capable person like Ye Jingcheng, and he is relatively satisfied with the status quo.

What's more, he opened a film company, in addition to helping Xin Yiqun to launder the funds.He will also take over to help other people launder money, and he can also get a lot of handling fees from it.

"If you really want to start a film company, you must pursue the quality of the production. In terms of capital investment, the cost is several times or even ten times higher than if you spend tens of thousands of yuan to make a film just for money laundering." More than twice."

"Of course, there will be returns if you invest. I don't think you intend to recover the cost of making a movie with tens of thousands of yuan, but the income of a movie with hundreds of thousands of yuan will vary. You may not even be able to recover the cost. , and may also reap dozens of times of benefits from it."

Glancing at Chen Hu who was digesting the information, Ye Jingcheng was not in a hurry to continue.

"Brother Cheng, I really don't understand this aspect, why don't you give me an idea." Chen Hu scratched his head and made a promise: "I will leave [-]% of the shares to you, Brother Cheng, for the newly opened film company."

It's not that Chen Hu really doesn't understand, but he has never been in contact with the film industry, so he doesn't know how to take the first step.

"Okay, I still don't like your little shares. If you really want to be grateful, I will be less fussy and work hard for me in the future."

It is actually a good thing for Chen Hu to join the film industry with a background in a society.

First of all, the movie produced by Chen Hu, Ye Jingcheng will definitely not let it be shown in the Southern Kingdom theaters.The theater chain can only choose between Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and Golden Princess.

No matter which one Chen Hu chooses to release the movie, for Ye Jingcheng, it is a means to attack other theaters. Even if the attack is not strong enough, at least it can disgust the other theater, right?
"Definitely, definitely." Chen Hu quickly nodded in agreement.

"Then let me ask you, do you know what is the key to the success of a movie from filming to release?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

"What is it? The quality of the movie?" Seeing Ye Jingcheng shaking his head, Chen Hu guessed again: "Is that the plot of the movie?"

"Wrong." Ye Jingcheng shook his head and said, "It's attention. If the audience doesn't pay attention to this movie, what good is the quality and plot?"

"On the other hand, it is the intensity of publicity."

Among the Hong Kong films that Ye Jingcheng is familiar with, there are many high-quality films with good plots.But when these films were released, they didn't get very good results.On the one hand, it may be affected by piracy, schedules, and resources, and on the other hand, the publicity is not strong enough.

When Chen Hu was thinking about how to answer, Ye Jingcheng called by name and said, "Think about what means of publicity you have?"
